Anne and Massoud Khodabandeh, Lobe log, March 09 2019:... Hommerich reported that inside the camp in Albania, MEK militants were still practicing the deadly techniques for combat taught them by Saddam Hussein’s Republican Guard—“cutting throats with a knife,” “breaking hands,” “removing eyes with fingers,” and “tearing the mouth open.” In 2017, the Trump administration reversed a 2013 plan by former Secretary…

Barbara Slavin, Al-Montor, March 08 2019:... the MEK is understood to be widely reviled inside Iran as a leftist Islamist cult that sided with Saddam Hussein during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war. The group advocates the overthrow of the Iranian government and the elevation of Maryam Rajavi, the wife of MEK founder Massoud Rajavi, as the new leader. She lives in exile…

Robert Fantina, Mondoweiss, March 02 2019:... The United States supports the MEK, once designated as a terrorist organization, but now welcomed into the U.S. family of violence.

The United States and Israel are determined to isolate Iran and overthrow its government, and replace…

Jefferson Morley, Salon, February 24 2019:... The MEK is described by Facebook/DFRLab as “the largest and most active political opposition group against the Islamic Republic of Iran leadership.” This statement is so factually false as to be ludicrous. The Iranian parliament, the Majlis, has organized factions critical of President Hassan Rouhani that are much larger and more active than the MEK. Masih, the country’s online…

Nejat Society, February 24 2019:... The scandals of the MKO reached their peak when Des Spiegel exposed more revelations about the true nature of the group a few days after the Poland Summit.

Fars News, February 13 2019:... accounts of real Iranians have been shuttered for allegedly being part of an "influence operation". "How about looking at actual bots in Tirana used to prop up 'regime change' propaganda spewed out of DC?" Zarif asked while alluding to the anti-Iran Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as the MEK, PMOI and NCRI) terrorist group…

Hamid Debashi, Aljazeera, February 11 2019:... The atrocities of the Islamic Republic over the past 40 years have created an expatriate opposition equally atrocious in its treacherous powermongering. The People's Mojahedin Organisation (MEK), the monarchists, and their various incarnations have come together collectively to form and discredit the Iranian political opposition. These organisations are now actively collaborating with the US, Israel,…

Iran Interlink, February 08 2019:... Much Farsi writing this week concerned Pompeo’s Warsaw summit. Some highlighted Pompeo’s meeting with the controversial Masih Alinejad. Comments relevant to MEK point out that America has dumped Maryam Rajavi. Faramarz Dadras, a security analyst, commented that nowadays everybody can take photos with Pompeo except Maryam Rajavi. Therefore, those who paid MEK have wasted their money.…

Iran Interlink, February 09 2019:... Maryam Rajavi headed a ‘protest’ in Paris yesterday using paid participants to promote her regime change agenda against Iran.

Stephen Gottlieb, WAMC, Morning Edition, January 30 2019:... The MEK has been the darling of the Administration as a potential successor to the mullahs because they both dislike the Iranian regime. Never mind that the MEK objected when Khomeini decided to release the hostages, that it has been a terrorist organization and killed Americans. Never mind that it has no support…

Ebrahim Khodabandeh, January 29 2019:... The MEK has asked all supporters to be active and leave comments on “hash tag forty years” demanding the US imposes even more severe sections on the Iranian people, follow the “regime change” policy more seriously, recognizes Maraym Rajavi as the President of Iran and invites the NCRI as the representative of Iran to the Warsaw…
